OUR FRUIT INTERESTS. In tins issue we publish some advice to strawberry and other fruit raisers which we think should be read by all our readers and if their neighbors have no Independent loan them this. The Editor of this paper has just enjoyed a trip through our neighboring state, Colorado, and finds that in equal proportion to the depreciation of silver (and consequent depression on all other commodities or products pro-ducts of the land) the fruit interests in-terests nre increased. Colorado has profited by the example set by the wise pioneers of Utah, who, instead of rushing pell mell after the mining resources or land robbing schemvs; they turned their attention to fruit and shade trees, plowing, agricultural agri-cultural and ether farming avocations. These noble men set this generation a grand example ex-ample of wisdom. They did not have the opportunities for planting first-class qualities of ef fruits; improved methods of grafting; new plans of cultivation; cultiva-tion; crossing and development of stock; the water supply was not one-tenth the flow of today; they had no bins full of grain; no cellars full of vegetables to live on while waiting for their trees to bear fruit, as we have today, and yet, what do we see? Utah was in the front ranks with fruit raisers of the west, but instead of maintaining the high standard of the pioneers we are permitting our fruits to deteriorate; we evade, by the most subtle means, all efforts at compulsory spraying laws or other means of improved fruit culture. The grossest negligence negli-gence in the care, assorting and shipment of fruit is shown. We utter the soleinn warning that if some of our fruit raisers do not right-about-face, they will find one of our best markets for surplus fruit not only lost to us, but a dangerous competitive agent against us. Colorado has the soil, climate, and nil the natural conditions for fruit and agricultural products that we hare, and they have much higher appreciation of it than w do. Can we not urge, exhort or plead with our fruit raisers to study the situation carefully? Make Utah the banner fruit state of the Union. Maintain the high standard established by our forefather of fifty years - i ago. buver and mining interests in-terests are suffering in the state, but if we turn our attention to fruit culture with our other unlimited un-limited resources we can defy hard t mes and always have a comfortable living at least.

He exhibitnl bad taste in paying any attention to it, much worse by permitting ancer to enter his mind an still poorer judgement by trying locoene or intimidate a news-pnper. news-pnper. We can see no justifie i lion in Judge une's course and rejoice in Editor Warrum's stand taken. The press of Utah will certainly back him in this alLir. The country newspaper deserves well of the people whom it addresses, says the Sacramento liee. "It has brought to general notice many a town whose existence on the map had been almoit unknown save to the Inhabitants. In-habitants. It is the agency which keeps the more or less remote settlements settle-ments in touch with tin- outside world. It is the promoter w hieli does more to 'whoop-up' and draw capital and population to its locality than all other inlluences combined. Take away the small daily or weekly paper from the town of 2u()0 or 5000 popula tion and you have sent that town twenty years back on the road of pro-' Kress. The duty of the people of the j smaller towns and the count ry sur- j rounding is to take, the local paper.'' We sometimes wonder if the business men of this ciU realize the truthfulness of the foregoing, fore-going, or appreciate the potency of the local paper. We are somewhat ashamed of the small patronage given The ndependent by our local nier-hants, nier-hants, and feel that we do not deserve tho slight 'is Springville must thank its paper for much of its pleasant notoriety and go- ahead tone.

DAVE CttAKDAL AT HOMK. As our trip was for the purpose of attending to business as well as pleas ure, we made ourtlrst stop at Thistle Junction where we were met by jolly Dave Crandall our Dave, whose face is always wreathed in smiles as broard as a full moon, and whose smile is never more beatific than when greeting greet-ing Springville travelers or ministering minister-ing to their wants as "mine host'' at his pleasant home or hotel. Dave says he is happy and contented in his new sphere for two reasons, business is good and his family keep well.

Pleasure in contemplation con-templation of the wondrous growth of their shade trees and the grandeur of the entire surroundings outside and in.

The service of the llio Grande Western West-ern has been recognized since 1882 as the best in the Inter-Mountain country, always making the comfort of their patrons rather than seltlsh gain their chief incentive. Their locomotives and cars are all equipped with the very best and safest designs for heavy and arduous travel over the rugged hills, whose fastness has been so lubricated by the careful corps of engineers who furnished the lines and grades to such a nicety that were it not for the boisterous pant of the locomotive one might almost think they were gliding over a placid lake instead of one of the most stupendous railway projects ever accomplished. Safety switches and other agencies looking to the care uf its patrons are the rules Instead of the exception; neither must their affable corps of conductors, brakeimsn and other train emp'oyees be forgotten, whose keenest anxiety is for the safety and comfort of their patrons Is always manifest by all.

IM.ACKil OOLU OAl.OK!'.. At Westwater a party of three placer mining operators jumped aboard for a run into Grand .hinct ion. The scene of their operations Were about two miles below the station. Tlkcy had a couple of g o 1 sized nuggets nug-gets of gold in addition lo a cashier's clieck for ..iiii) on the li'.ise National Hank, all representing about $500, I for two or three week's work, j The bm s say there are very few wurk-! wurk-! ing in this locality as this is not con sidcred good wages. home people would think this pretty fair these days. From Grand .1 unction we took t he Colorado Midland of which t he Denver Den-ver Times has the following. To name two trains in a manner peculiarly appropriate to the country in which they operate is, of course, a small trick in itself, but there are circumstances and considerations that may slump such a thing as a stroke of genius. And it is just to give thai credit to the passenger depart de-part nient of The Colorado Midland Railroad for naming its two overland trains the "L'te" and the "coyote." The trains run between Denver in this state and Grand Junction, the fruit belt terminus on the Western slope of the state. As the advertising advertis-ing matter of the road states, the trains pass over the trails made years ago by the moccasins of the Ule In dians atid through the hills andi. mountains where the coyotes have h wled many a sheep herder and miner into sleepless nights. To call them "Ute" and "Coyote" therefore is to attach historical associations to them that will make them easily remembered re-membered by any who have ever had the pleasure of traveling over them' and that will mark them iueffaceably as one of the features of Colorado. For this sort of advertising The Colorado Midland deserves general appreciation. It identities the road with C.jlorado, and it sets an example that vvill bear wide-spread imitation. This great state is full of just such uniiue characteristics and elements as l'te and Coycte, and these names can be made as famous as the older names that distinguish the countries of Europe. Of course, however, the names cannot can-not be made famous unless they are endeared to the memory by practical commendations. In this respect the Mniiand road, with its splendid car service, its marvelous scenic route of I travel, and its other features of modern rail-romiing is doing its duty ihundantlv.
